The Lakers acquired LeBron James earlier in the summer and are expected to pair him with another superstar next year.

Kawhi Leonard, who will be a free agent, has been linked with the move after joining the Raptors with just a year left on his deal, but Shelburne thanks they would like to get their hands on Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson.

“In terms of who they target next year, it’s whoever wants to come,” she said on ESPNLA Mornings with Keyshawn, LZ and Travis.

“My feeling about it, my sense from just talking to people in and around this (is that) one, it’s a little early, but I think they like Mychal’s boy.

“I think that would be the guy, in terms of skillset and how that would fit.

“Obviously Kawhi, he’s a great player as well, but we’ll see if he stays in Toronto now.

“But I think they like Klay (Thompson).”

And James insists he’s happy with the roster looking the way it is.

“I’m excited to play with all of them, every last one of them,” he said.

“From the guys that were there to all those newcomers that’s come in, so it’s an exciting time for us in L.A.”
